CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims the priority benefit of China application serial no. 201821244389.4, filed on Aug. 3, 2018. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to an optical device, and in particular, to a projection device.

Description of Related Art

In the current projection devices, the housing of the projection device has air inlets disposed on the front and rear sides thereof, and air outlets disposed on the left and right sides thereof. And speakers are disposed on the left and right sides of the housing and are located between the system fans (i.e., blowers) and the air outlets. Since the distance between the air outlets of the blowers having high static-pressure and low airflow and the light-modulating device of the optical device module is small, wind shear is likely to occur and noise is generated. Moreover, to increase the airflow for cooling the light source module to meet the temperature requirement for the light source, two axial fans would be disposed on the front side of the light source module (i.e., at a position adjacent to the projection lens) in the current projection devices. However, as the distance between the light source module and the light-modulating device of the optical device module is not large, the light source module has to be tilted towards the rear plate of the housing to allow space for disposing the two axial fans. Since the light source module has to be tilted towards the rear plate of the housing, the overall volume of the projection device is increased, and the distance between the air inlets located on the rear plate and the projection screen is decreased, which reduces the air inlet, results in undesirable heat dissipation effect, and causes difficulty in installation of cables disposed on the rear plate of the housing. In addition, the two axial fans are located at midstream/upstream of the flow field. Therefore, it is necessary to add guide members at air outlets of the system to guide and discharge the airflow from the light source out of the system. As a result, the costs and flow resistance are increased, and system noise is also likely to increase. Furthermore, an 8-cm step difference is present between the condenser end and the evaporator end of the heat pipe for cooling the light-modulating device, and it is necessary to use two heat pipes to guarantee the heat dissipation function.

First, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, in the embodiment, a projection device 100 a includes a housing 110, a light source module 120, an optical engine module 130 a, a projection lens 140, and a plurality of fans 152, 154, 156, 158. The housing 110 includes at least one air inlet (two are illustrated here, including a first air inlet 112 and a second air inlet 114) and a plurality of air outlets 116, 118. The air outlets 116, 118 are respectively located on a first side plate 111 and a second side plate 113 of the housing 110, which are opposite to each other. An airflow direction D1 of the first air inlet 112 is not parallel to an air flow direction D2 of the air outlets 116, 118. The light source module 120 is disposed inside the housing 110 and is located closely adjacent to the first air inlet 112. The optical engine module 130 a is disposed inside the housing 110 and is located on a light transmission path of a light emitted from the light source module 120. The projection lens 140 is disposed inside the housing 110 and is connected to the optical engine module 130 a to project light from the optical engine module 130 a to outside the projection device 100 a. The fans 152, 154, 156, 158 are disposed inside the housing 110. The fans 152, 154 are arranged closely adjacent to the air outlet 116, and the fans 156, 158 are arranged closely adjacent to the air outlet 118. In other words, no heat-generating element is disposed between the fans 152, 154, 156, 158 and the air outlets 116, 118. In an embodiment, the fans 152, 154, 156, 158 respectively include an air intake side and an air outflow side. The air intake side and the air outflow side of each of the fans 152, 154, 156, 158 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the fan. The air outflow sides of the fans 152, 154 face the air outlet 116, and the air outflow sides of the fans 156, 158 face the air outlet 118.

Specifically, the housing 110 of the embodiment further includes an upper casing 115 and a lower casing 117. A space between the upper casing 115 and the lower casing 117 of the housing 110 defines an accommodation area A. More specifically, the accommodation area A may be divided into a first area A1 and a second area A2. The space between an edge connecting line of the fans 152, 154 (i.e., a connecting line of the two air outflow sides) adjacent to the first side plate 111 of the housing 110 and an edge connecting line of the fans 156, 158 (i.e., a connecting line of the two air outflow sides) adjacent to the second side plate 113 of the housing 110 is defined as the first area A1. The light source module 120, the optical engine module 130 a, and the fans 152, 154, 156, 158 are at least located in the first area A1, and the projection lens 140 is at least located in the second area A2. The first air inlet 112 is disposed on a rear plate 119 of the housing 110, and the second air inlet 114 is located below the projection lens 140. In other words, the projection lens 140 corresponds to a position of the lower casing 117 of the housing 110. The rear plate 119 is respectively connected to the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113. As shown in FIG. 2, the airflow direction D1 of the first air inlet 112 of the embodiment is substantially perpendicular to the airflow direction D2 of the air outlets 116, 118, and the airflow direction D3 of the second air inlet 114 is also substantially perpendicular to the airflow direction D2 of the air outlets 116, 118. Accordingly, an air flow in the projection device 100 a of the embodiment sequentially flows through the first air inlet 112, the light source module 120, the fans 152, 154, 156, 158, and the air outlets 116, 118. Herein, a throw ratio (i.e., projection distance/image width) of the projection lens 140 is 0.4 or less. This means that the projection lens 140 of the embodiment is specifically an ultra-short throw lens, and the fans 152, 154, 156, 158 are low static-pressure and high-airflow axial fans (having a size of 85 mm×85 mm×25 mm, for example), but the invention is not limited thereto.

The light source module 120 of the embodiment is closely adjacent to the first air inlet 112, the fans 152, 154, 156, 158 are located closely adjacent to the air outlets 116, 118, and the airflow directions D1, D3 of the first air inlet 112 and the second air inlet 114 are not parallel to the airflow direction D2 of the air outlets 116, 118. Therefore, when a cooling airflow enters the housing 110 via the first air inlet 112 and the second air inlet 114, the light source module 120 and the projection lens 140 can be directly cooled. Moreover, the heated airflow inside the housing 110 is discharged through active heat dissipation of the fans 152, 154, 156, 158 to thereby achieve the effect of cooling the inside of the projection device 100 a. Compared to the related art where high static-pressure and low-airflow blowers are used as the system fans and it is required to dispose two axial fans at a position of the light source module relatively adjacent to the projection lens, the projection device 100 a of the embodiment adopts axial fans as the system fans and it is not required to dispose heat dissipation fans at a position of the light source module 120 relatively adjacent to the projection lens 140. Therefore, noise can be effectively reduced (i.e., a reduction of 2 dB(A) to 3 dB(A)), and the system depth (i.e., the vertical distance from the upper casing 115 to the lower casing 117) can be reduced, thereby providing an advantage of a reduced size. Moreover, since the system depth of the projection device 100 a of the embodiment can be effectively reduced, installation is more convenient and the airflow entering via the first air inlet 112 of the rear side (i.e., the rear plate 119) can be smoother. It is noted that, in other unillustrated embodiments, it is also possible that the housing includes only one air inlet (i.e., the first air inlet), which still falls in the scope to be protected by the invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 4, and FIG. 5, the light source module 120 of the embodiment includes a light source 122 and a light source heat dissipation module 124. Specifically, the light source 122 is connected to the light source heat dissipation module 124, and the light source heat dissipation module 124 is located closely adjacent to the first air inlet 112. More specifically, the light source heat dissipation module 124 includes a light source dissipation fin 125 and at least one heat pipe 127. A first end 127 a of the at least one heat pipe 127 is connected to the light source 122, and a second end 127 b of the at least one heat pipe 127 passes through the light source dissipation fin 125. Preferably, an extension direction L1 of the at least one heat pipe 127 is perpendicular to a light-transmitting direction L2 of the projection lens 140.

Furthermore, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, the optical engine module 130 a of the embodiment includes a light-modulating device 132. The light-modulating device 132 includes a light-modulating surface 135, and the light-modulating device 132 is correspondingly supported on a supporting surface 133 of the optical engine module 130 a. An extension direction L of the supporting surface 133 is substantially parallel to the lower casing 117 of the housing 110. Herein, the light-modulating device 132 is, for example, a digital micromirror device (DMD). Of course, in other unillustrated embodiments, the extension direction of the supporting surface corresponding to the light-modulating device may also be parallel to the upper casing of the housing, which still falls in the scope to be protected by the invention. Moreover, the optical engine module 130 a may further include an optical engine dissipation fin 134. The optical engine dissipation fin 134 is disposed above the supporting surface 133 corresponding to the light-modulating device 132 and is located between the upper casing 115 and the light-modulating device 132. Preferably, an orthogonal projection of the light source dissipation fin 125 of the light source heat dissipation module 124 on a reference plane P partially overlaps with an orthogonal projection of the optical engine dissipation fin 134 of the optical engine module 130 a on the reference plane P. The reference plane P is, for example, a plane formed of the light-transmitting direction L2 of the projection lens 140 and the extension direction L1 of the at least one heat pipe 127 of the light source heat dissipation module 124. In other embodiments, the reference plane P may also be, for example, a plane parallel to the upper casing 115 or the lower casing 117 of the housing 110. The second end 127 b of the at least one heat pipe 127 of the light source heat dissipation module 124 is below the supporting surface 133 corresponding to the light-modulating device 132 of the optical engine module 130 a. On the other hand, to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the projection device 100 a, referring to FIG. 7, the optical engine module 130 a of the embodiment further includes an auxiliary fan 136. The auxiliary fan 136 is disposed inside the optical engine dissipation fin 134 and can effectively enhance the heat dissipation efficiency. Of course, the optical engine module 130 a also includes a light combining element (not shown), a light uniformizing device (not shown), or a color filter wheel (not shown), which shall not be repeatedly described here.

Since the optical engine dissipation fin 134 and the light source dissipation fin 124 of the embodiment are not located on the same plane, there is a larger space for disposing the light source dissipation fin 124, and more and larger light source dissipation fins 124 can be disposed to increase the heat dissipation area. Thereby, flow resistance can be reduced and the heat dissipation efficiency of the light source module 120 can be enhanced. Moreover, the optical engine dissipation fin 134 is directly disposed above the light-modulating device 132. Therefore, it is not required to dispose a heat pipe to conduct the heat away, and a decrease in the heat dissipation performance resulting from inverse gravity does not occur. In addition, since the optical engine dissipation fin 134 is directly disposed above the light-modulating device 132, the arrangement of the light source module 120 may be retreated towards a direction away from the rear plate 119, which increases the distance between the first air inlet 112 of the rear plate 119 and a projection screen and is favorable for installation of cables disposed on the rear plate 119.

Furthermore, referring to FIG. 2 again, the projection device 100 a of the embodiment further includes a plurality of speakers 162, 164 (two speakers 162, 164 are illustrated in the embodiment). The speakers 162, 164 are disposed inside the housing 110 and are located by two opposite sides of the projection lens 140. Particularly, the speakers 162, 164 of the embodiment are at least located in the second area A2 of the housing 110. More specifically, the volume of the speakers 162, 164 of the embodiment in the second area A2 is larger than 0.5 times of the whole volume of the speakers 162, 164. In other words, the speakers 162, 164 can be fully disposed in the second area A2 or mostly disposed in the second area A2. Herein, as shown in FIG. 2, the speakers 162, 164 of the embodiment are located in the first area A1 and the second area A2. First portions 162 a, 164 a of the speakers 162, 164 in the first area A1 are far smaller than second portions 162 b, 164 b in the second area A2. Preferably, an orthogonal projection area of the first portions 162 a, 164 a of the speakers 162, 164 in the first area A1 on air intake sides 152 a, 156 a of the relatively adjacent fans 152, 156 is smaller than the area of the air intake sides 152 a, 156 a. In other words, the speakers 162, 164 of the embodiment specifically have structures of large speakers, and the arrangement of the speakers 162, 164 does not block the air outlets 116, 118 and does not interfere with circulation of the airflow. Namely, the size and the arrangement of the speakers 162, 164 of the embodiment do not affect the overall heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the projection device 100 a of the embodiment further includes a power supply 170. The power supply 170 is disposed inside the housing 110 and is located between the optical engine module 130 a and the air outlet 116.

It is noted that the reference numerals and part of the description of the embodiment above apply to the embodiments below. The same reference numerals represent the same or similar components, and descriptions of the same technical contents are omitted. Reference may be made to the embodiment above for the omitted descriptions, which shall not be repeated in the embodiments below.

FIG. 8 is a three-dimensional diagram illustrating another projection device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to both FIG. 2 and FIG. 8, a projection device 100 b of the present embodiment is similar to the projection device 100 a in FIG. 2. The difference between the two lies in that the optical engine module 130 a in FIG. 2 does not include an auxiliary fan disposed inside the optical engine dissipation fin 134. Specifically, the projection device 100 b of the embodiment further includes an auxiliary fan 180 and at least one airflow guide member 190 (only one is schematically illustrated here). The auxiliary fan 180 and the airflow guide member 190 are disposed inside the housing 110, and the airflow guide member 190 is located between the auxiliary fan 180 and the optical engine dissipation fin 134 of an optical engine module 130 b. The purpose of disposing the airflow guide member 190 is to guide the air of the auxiliary fan 180 to the optical engine dissipation fin 134 of the optical engine module 130 b to thereby enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the projection device 100 b.

FIG. 9 is a three-dimensional diagram illustrating another projection device according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to both FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the projection device 100 b of the embodiment is similar to the projection device 100 b in FIG. 8. The difference between the two lies in that the housing 110 in FIG. 9 further includes a third air inlet 110 a. Specifically, the third air inlet 110 a of the projection device 100 b of the embodiment is disposed on a front plate (unlabeled) of the housing 110 opposite to the rear plate 119, and the projection lens 140 is located closely adjacent to the third air inlet 110 a. The purpose of disposing the third air inlet 110 a is to directly dissipate heat of the projection lens 140 to thereby enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the projection device 100 b.

In summary of the above, the embodiments of the invention at least exhibit one of the advantages or effects below. In the design of the projection device of the invention, the light source module is located closely adjacent to the air inlet, the fans are located closely adjacent to the air outlets, and the airflow directions of the air inlets are not parallel to the airflow direction of the air outlets. Therefore, when a cooling airflow enters the housing via the air inlets, the light source module can be directly cooled. Moreover, the heat inside the housing is discharged through active heat dissipation of the fans to thereby achieve the effect of cooling the inside of the projection device. In brief, the projection device of the invention exhibits improved heat dissipation effect.
